First Draft - Improv Ass Whoopery
First Draft, an improvised work in progress (as Synergy Theater calls it), is anything but a work in progress. The show premiered last Friday to a packed house that howled with laughter as this group of unabashedly talented improvisers expertly fielded audience suggestions without flinching, and turned them into a 90 minute, fully improvised play. Here are just a few of the audience suggestions which fueled the hilarity-fest:
For the title: “Where is My Latin Lover?”
Character’s name: Lupe
Lupe’s secret: She is a prostitute
New character: Lupe’s brother, Octavio
Octavio’s secret: He is Lupe’s pimp
Octavio’s other secret: He has a speech impediment where he always adds an ‘S’ to words ending in ‘R’ (I have never in my life laughed that hard at the word horse)
Where should the play end: Vegas
Clearly, the audience came prepared, and so did Synergy. Congrats to the performers and thanks to everyone who came out ... feel free to tell your friends ... or every person you’ve ever met.
